Productivity measures and the "new economy"

John Carlson () and Mark E. Schweitzer

Economic Commentary, 1998, issue Jun

Abstract: The U.S. economy's recent extraordinary performance has led some to claim that trend output growth is accelerating to a much higher rate than any we have experienced in a quarter century; they also maintain that the signs of productivity's acceleration have been masked by measurement problems. The authors, however, find scant evidence to support such claims.
